Tourism Prince George, with support from Studio 2880 and the Prince George & District Community Arts Council, is calling on artists from across northern B.C. to submit expressions of interest for an exciting new mural opportunity.
As part of the upcoming Container Market – set to open soon in Canada Games Plaza—this mural will transform one of five shipping containers into a vibrant, welcoming centerpiece. This new community hub aims to connect locals and visitors through art, culture, and shared experiences.
Artists of all disciplines are encouraged to apply – including painters, photographers, illustrators, and mixed-media artists. Proposals from individual artists, partnerships, and collectives are all welcome. Submissions should reflect themes of Inspiration, Connection, and Support and respond creatively to the unique architecture of a C-Can container.
Deadline to apply: April 21, 2025 (midnight)
The selected artist(s) will be awarded a project budget of up to $17,000 for design, materials, and installation. Shortlisted applicants will receive a $200 honorarium for full proposals.
